Who this guidance is for

1. This guidance deals with an additional power available to
local authorities attempting to deal with cases of antisocial
behaviour. It is available where the antisocial person lives in or
is visiting a house which is let from a private landlord.

2. The guidance is primarily directed towards antisocial
behaviour teams in local authorities. But another option for action
in these circumstances may be to use powers linked to the
registration of private landlords so registration lead officers
should also be aware of the nature of the power dealt with in this
guidance.

3. Depending on local arrangements, the antisocial behaviour
team may wish to share this guidance with other partners.
